An interview refers to a meeting between applicants for employment and a company’s representative to determine if the candidate is qualified for a job, an internship or a volunteer opportunity.

Here are some of the tips which will help you perform well at interviews

Try to be in a good position within the room. Make sure you choose a seat which you can see everyone especially if it is conducted in oversized room and there are few of the people involved.

Maintain a good posture
Don’t let your arms fall loosely on the table in front of you because these shows you are too close and still don’t lean forward  a lot to put your hands on the table because these shows you are too far at least be about 4 inches from the table. If there is no table, just rest your arms on the lap.
Limit hand and arm movement. Make sure that even if you move your hands; make sure that the movements are distracting because your personality and enthusiasm matters a lot.

Smile! It’s better to have a nervous than no smile at all since no one would want to hire a grumpy person. Also smile a bit when you are introduced to the members of the panel.
Maintain eye contact. If you do not make eye contact, you will be insecure and if you stare to the interviewers too much you will make them insecure. Mostly look at the person asking questions and the occasional look aside to involve others.

Dress for interview. The first judgment an interviewer makes will be based on how you look and what you are wearing so it is important to dress appropriately.
Improve your interview technique. The interview gives you a chance to shine so what you do move you to the next round of consideration or kicks you out.
Beware of props. Do not fiddle with your pen if you have any because it might fly in the wrong direction. Avoid taking drinks if offered any because the movement of the water in the glass will show how nervous you are.

Prepare for phone interview. If actively searching for a job, be prepared for a phone interview because you cannot predict when a networking contact might call.

Smoking. Don’t smoke before the interview to avoid stinking of tobacco smoke because this will guarantee of turn off.

Refresh your mind. Remind yourself on the details of your present and past employers just before going for the interview.

Take your time. Never restrict yourself on time yes the interview might be I a hurry because he want to see other applicant but you, you have no other business so use all the time given well and don’t be in a hurry.

Taking names. Make sure you get the interviewers full names and tittle.

Thanks. Do not forget to thank the interviewers for the opportunity they offered you.
